YEREVAN, June 11. /ARKA/. After ten years of waiting, positron emission tomography was performed in Armenia for the first time, Armenian Health Minister Arsen Torosyan reported Thursday on his Facebook page.
"In parallel with the fight against coronavirus, it is also very important to ensure the availability of other medical services in the country, especially when the borders are closed and our citizens, in fact, are deprived of the opportunity to undergo these procedures abroad," wrote Torosyan.
According to him, perhaps next week, all citizens, especially those with cancer, will be able to undergo this tomography at the Isotope Production Center.
“This is a real victory for our country,” Torosyan wrote, expressing gratitude to everyone who worked on this project.
Positron emission tomography is a radionuclide tomographic method for examining the internal organs of people or animals. The method is based on the registration of a pair of gamma rays arising from the annihilation of positrons with electrons. -0-
